We have waited many years for courts 9,10 and 11 to be transitioned to post tension. Elite Sports has done an excellent job on all of our courts in the past and this is no exception. SaddleBrooke Tennis Club will now have 20 post tension courts that are in excellent condition. Post tension courts are a long term investment and are more economical as they require minimal maintenance. Painting is required every 5 years in order to maintain the warranty.
Elite Sports spokesperson said they are very busy in Tucson. They do pickleball courts, basketball courts, sidewalks and of course tennis courts. If you have not stopped by the Mountain View courts it has been quite a process that began in mid December. Trucks were subcontracted to pour the cement. The truck extensions were at least 4 stories high reaching into the tennis courts from the parking lot! The cement would pour through the extensions and the workers wore high boots and would level it around the court as it came down the shoot. It looked like they were working in quick sand! I talked with one of the workers named Carlos who said he is the 3rd generation working in this field.
The cement needs a few weeks to cure. When ready, the painting of the courts will then be completed with the tennis and POP lines. The nets and the other equipment will be put in place.
Be sure to thank our HOA2 Board of Directors and Bill McGinn, Director of Operations and Facilities along with his staff. They have done an exceptional job keeping our tennis courts in top condition!
